Have You Made Your Peace?

A woman lay dying. A minister tried to break the news as gently as he could: “They think your time is short.” “Yes,” she said, “I know it.” “Have you made your peace with God?” “No,” she replied, “I haven’t made my peace with God.”

There was a strange light of perfect peace in the woman’s eyes, so the minister said, “What do you mean?” She said, “Listen! I know I am dying, yet I have no fear of meeting God. I don’t have to make my peace with God for I am resting in the peace which Jesus Christ has already made in His atoning death upon the cross.”
